"Political allegiance" means one's commitment to a political party or political idea! I wouldn't say the term "allegiance" is super common. It's used mostly in serious situations, games, and science fiction. Ex: The planet's allegiance is with The Rebellion. => Star Wars reference Ex: The company tried to avoid stating a political allegiance to remain neutral.
